<div>Update! The picture here is one of my favorites as it was the first Buck I took with a bow in Minnesota. The picture is just for attention. I am doing the MVD brain  surgery on Friday, it looks to be scheduled for around 12:00 with a 2 hour pre operation period and then a 4-5 surgical operation after that. I’m beyond thankful for everyone who has helped us to get to this point, that includes everything not just money. The thoughts and prayers that have been offered, the kind text messages that have been sent and the phone calls that I have received to offer words of wisdom and encouragement. You have absolutely no idea how much those help out !!! I’m sincerely grateful for every one of you ! God bless you all. If you could do me one favor and please just share the post, that would really be appreciated. Thanks so very much.

<div>Help Steven Overcome 14 Years of Pain with surgery for Trigeminal Neuralgia
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Dear Friends and Community,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For the past 14 years, Steven has been battling a relentless and debilitating condition known as Trigeminal Neuralgia. AKA “The suicide disease” This chronic pain condition affects the trigeminal nerve and is known for carrying an excruciatingly painful sensation from the face to the brain. The pain can be triggered by everyday activities, like brushing your teeth, chewing, or even the slightest touch of wind on your face. For those living with trigeminal neuralgia, the pain is described as the most excruciating known to mankind.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Steven has endured countless procedures and experimental treatments, including CyberKnife - radiation therapy, and spinal cord stimulators, at an exorbitant financial and physical cost. Despite investing thousands of dollars these treatments did not alleviate his suffering, all while striving to provide for his loving wife and three children.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>When Steven's condition began, his children were very young. Despite the pain, Steven never let it hinder his role as a nurturing and providing father. However, the severity of his condition did limit his ability to participate in activities with his children. He longs for the day when he can be physically active with them, sharing experiences and creating memories as a healthy, engaged father.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Recently, Steven took a crucial step towards diagnosis and recovery by meeting with Dr. Richard Zimmerman at Mayo Clinic in Phoenix and finding an Arterial compression in his Brain.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Now, there is a glimmer of hope. With this diagnosis, Steven has the opportunity to undergo a potentially life-changing surgery. However, his current insurance situation means that this crucial procedure will not be fully covered, leaving him and his family facing significant out-of-pocket expenses.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>To make matters more challenging, Steven will be unable to work for up to eight weeks following the surgery. This extended period of recovery, combined with the substantial medical bills, will place a severe burden on his family’s finances.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are reaching out to you, our extended network of friends, family, and compassionate strangers, to help support Steven during this critical time. Your generous contributions will directly assist with the costs of the surgery and associated medical expenses, as well as provide vital support during his recovery period.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every donation, no matter the size, will make a significant difference. Your support will not only help alleviate the financial burden but also bring Steven closer to the day when he can fully participate in his children's lives and activities.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and support. Together, we can help Steven and his family find relief and hope for a brighter future.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With heartfelt gratitude,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Lynne McCafferty (Mama)
